Jasper Farmer Slugged in Dark Mystery
Wm. Joboton, a five mile southeast of Jasper farmer, was found unconscious with a large jagged scalp wound early Saturday night after hearing a scuffle in his yard. His daughter Abbie Crow reported the sounds of multiple persons. The wound, aided by a metal fragment, suggests assault rather than a fall, and neighbors debate whether a night prowler attacked him.
